finished up the install yesterday. topped it off with one of their 5 inch exhaust tips. a little louder than stock but not too bad. :)
 
JDark,



I am thinking of purchasing the same set up for my '06. How did the install go? If you have any more thoughts on it please post, I'm thinking of ordering soon. Thanks.
 
Piece of cake - used a 4" sidegrinder w/cut-off blade to split the muffler in/out's, spread with screwdriver & pulled off of exhaust piping, slipped replacement pipe onto exhaust piping & installed clamps.
 
They sure installed the clamps tight on my '05. Crimped the pipe at least 1/4" on top where it is hardest to get the cut-off wheel to. Other than that, its a breeze.
 
Funny you say that because a few times I have mistakened a ricer car, thinking it was a 3rd gen CTD with a straight pipe :eek:
 
pipe was crimped by factory clamps. i also removed with a die grinder and small cutoff wheel. the kit came with one bracket/clamp and i used stainless band clamps for the other two connections. super rigid.
 
Put one on my 06. For a $100. 00 exhaust upgrade it is well worth the money. Deeper tone and no drone with an empty truck. It thought the pipe was a little short. It looks like it could have sliped on the cat side and tail pipe side better. I mite just need to make some adjustments. It not leaking, just looking for a tighter fit. All in all a simple upgrade till I deicide to do some kind of full turbo system after some more upgrades.

I installed genos pipe, i think it sounds good from in the cab, a little louder than stock, but not obnoxious. I also put a torque tube on with stock box, and removed the silencer ring, so i could hear the turbo some more.

Where did you get the band clamps? Got a pick of them? What I call a band clamp is basically a hose clamp. So ,if you have some pics and where I can get them with a part number that would be GREAT!



Also, Are they reusable?
 
My buddy and i put this kit on my truck and we heated the crimped parts with a little propane torch and used alittle elbow grease and now i have my factory muffler in great shape, now i can put it back on if need be,or sell the whole system(when i go 5") to someone in need of a fatory system. It took about 1 1/2hrs from start to finish!

I don't have a part number, but the stainless band clamps I used are available at any NAPA auto parts. Very high quality. Just ask the parts guy. The clamps are about four inches wide with two 9/16 stainless bolts I think. Definitely recommend after wrestling with the overtightened factory u-clamps. They are reusable because I have had them on and off several times. Good Luck.

I installed the MEK from Genos too and am pretty happy, truck sounds good (too me) and it seemed to help a touch with the MPG (according to overhead). Totally worth a 100 bucks, just from the little extra sound it gives ya. Scotty
